Arsenal star Declan Rice has made a heartwarming donation to help treat a West Ham U15 player who is battling cancer, reports the Daily Mail.
The Arsenal midfielder, who left the Hammers just a year ago in a record-breaking move to the Emirates, clearly still has a deep connection to his former club and keeps up with news from there. This is likely how he learned about Oscar Fairs’ situation.
The 14-year-old has been in West Ham’s youth system since he was eight, showing great promise before discovering he had a rare form of brain tumour last year.
Oscar is now fighting back, and his family has opened a GoFundMe account to raise funds for his treatment.
Many people have contributed, but one name that stands out is Rice, who generously donated £5,000.
Rice, who made over 200 senior appearances for West Ham before moving to Arsenal, remains one of the most respected figures in the Arsenal dressing room
Just Arsenal Opinion
This kind gesture will earn Rice even more supporters, and it has been clear for some time that he has a great character.
Hopefully, his on-field performance will improve even further this season as we look to win some trophies.

OT.
“Arsenal”s Merino fractured shoulder in first training” so said the Espn report.
But what will Arsenal and Merino do now as this hard luck has happened?
The one immediate thing that I think Merino can do will be to be on the Arsenal medical treatment. Then rehab and return for Aesenal. Which could be in months time.
I had mistakenly started him in my own Arsenal starting XI for our Brighton home match tomorrow.
Which makes my Arsenal starts 12 starters for the match. Instead of the normal X+ match starters.
My adjusted Arsenal starting XI for Brighton. And let it be note that I am predicting a 3 nil match win for Arsenal to happen at the Emirates tomorrow
